Is tord a good name for my baby?

[Maddimonster]

I wanted to name my newborn after My grandad and his name was tord but im not sure if thats a good name for a baby

[LokisUnderpants]

Without being insulting it sounds a bit too like Turd for me. Sorry.

[mouldycheesefan]

I fear it becoming turd 💩

[Paulat2112]

Another vote for turd here :(

[nilbyname]

Turd. Sorry, I really don't mean to be disrespectful about your grandad

[Elllicam]

Could you maybe make it Tor? Or did he have a middle name?

[MustStopAndThinkBeforePosting]

Sorry yes it just sounds like Turd.

What about Thor?

[Betrayedbutsurvived]

yup, he'll be turd throughout his entire school life I'm afraid.

[NeedACleverNN]

I've never heard that name before.

Are you in the UK? I can't see it going down very among his friends

[Floggingmolly]

Of course it's turd, it doesn't even have a capital letter to establish it as a name (at least it doesn't in your op)

[EmpressOfTheVaginaDentata]

I'm really sorry but I saw Turd at first too. Could you use Tord as a middle name?

[SecretNutellaFix]

Nope- he'll become Turd very quickly.

[ccsays]

Agree with the above, sorry How about Torin?

[OhTheRoses]

What about Thorsten? No, I agree, you cannot call a child Tord in this country. His school days will be shit if you do.

[MissBattleaxe]

Yep, he'd be turd by the time he reaches reception age and for evermore after that.

[FizzyFeet]

How about Torsten or Todd? Or did your grandad have a middle name you could use instead?

[FeckArseIndustries]

It's lovely to honour your granddad but with your child's wellbeing in mind, perhaps a modified version:
Tor/Torr
Thor
Tod
Tom
Rod
Ruary (shorten to roar/roared?)
Lord (or maybe not)

[Pigeon314]

No no no. It sounds like Turd. In fact, in a flat Dublin accent bird is pronounced bord. so.......... for me it'd be a no.

I like the suggestions of Todd or Torsten though!

[Pigeon314]

" you cannot call a child Tord in this country. His school days will be shit if you do."

lol

[Queenbean]

Really?

[Eeeek686]

Genuinely thought this was a joke thread (& my kids have got fairly 'out there' names) until I googled it. Definitely Not Tord - as everyone else has already said! - but Tor and Thor are both known derivatives so the sentiment would still be there?

[GandalfsWrinklyHat]

Torin?

[LynneB59]

It's not a proper name, is it? Surely you can think of something better.....

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I'd put it in the middle name spot, personally.

[mumto1babyboy]

It's very much like turd :( xx
